I am going to be in a very cool show that opens this week at Lillstreet Gallery in Chicago. (Please refer to the diagram in the top left corner and follow along.) The show is made up of work from five pairs of artists. Each ceramic artist made 1 piece(s) from start the finish and another piece(s) halfway. Then traded the leather hard piece with their partner. The partner decorated, finished and fired the piece(s). Each pair will display their four pieces. I haven’t seen any of the other pieces yet, so I am really excited to see what everyone did.

I think this is an exercise that every ceramic artist should try. You learn so much about your own work and your approach to it by seeing your form through someone else’s eyes. I will be posting pictures of the show soon so you can see the work even if you’re not in Chicago.
